You Are Invited

The Bureau of Land Management extends an invitation for your participation in managing public lands within the State of Arizona. You can "Make a Difference" in conserving your heritage of natural and historic resources for future generations by simply volunteering in one of various volunteer positions or projects offered throughout the state. There's no better way to enjoy the outdoors. You'll also have an opportunity to meet new people and learn something new.

What are the Benefits?

BLM volunteers have the same benefits as Federal government employees for compensation for work-related injuries and tort claims protection. Although volunteers contribute their services without pay, they may deduct out-of-pocket expenses on income tax returns within the limits set by tax laws. Deductions can include car mileage, meals and lodging expenses incurred as a result of volunteer work.

Further Information on Volunteering

Take Pride in America - a national partnership initiative aimed at increasing volunteer service on America's public lands.

Volunteers are typically matched to positions or projects that are similar to their knowledge, skill and abilities. More often than not, volunteers engage in opportunities that help develop special skills or help explore special interests. Volunteers are selected without regard to gender, race, age, disability or mental or physical challenge. Those under 18, however, usually serve as a member of a group, and must have written consent of a parent or guardian. Volunteers can work individually or as part of a group. Some volunteers work on a one-time or short-term project, while others serve under longer term agreements. Most BLM volunteers serve part-time, such as on weekends or during a certain season.
